Damn! Didn't do the o2 sensor. Is it worth removing the front exhaust (thats the only one I removed for the cam job) to get at the O2 sensor and get some anti seize on it? The floor board isn't on yet.

^^^Ditto^^^

Go to the hardware store & get some ss nuts to secure the flange bolts. Mine never budge.

If you decide to put the anti-seize on the O2 sensor be careful not to get any of it on the actual sensor itself. Threads only.

I use a little Coppaslip anti-seize. Plus I junked the factory nuts and replaced them with brass nuts. Don't want those exhaust nuts seized up.

Gonna remove the front exhaust and the o2 sensor. Anti seize and RE install. Rather be safe than sorry.

As someone who had to get a new front O2 sensor because I broke it (I'm assuming some wiring got screwed in the line from the twisting)....be careful.
